I have baked marble cake numerous times but have yet to eat a single slice myself. I used this recipe from Aunty Yochana's Blog (thanks Aunty for sharing!) with some tweaking to bake for Ah Boy's 1st month celebration instead of buying cake vouchers from Bengawan Solo. It was a marathon baking session as I can only bake 1 cake at a time. In 4 days, I baked 20 cakes for relatives and neighbours (*sshhh~~ don't tell my mom). It was very tiring, especially just after 1st month of confinement and had to stop in between Ah Boy's feeds. I wanted to leave 1 cake for myself then but had to give that away too as I left out 1 neighbour. Later on, I was too preoccupied to bake the cake for some taste test.

Well, if 20 families said that this cake was good, it must be good. I shared this recipe with a fellow blogger, which she succeeded in making. So when my long time girl friend chose Marble Cake as her birthday cake, I used this recipe again. Later on, she messaged me, raving about how good the cake was. Feeling elated, guilty and curious at the same time, I finally baked 1 for myself last night. Eheheh.. not bad (self brag). Happy Birthday, FY! Of all the 21 years we have known each other, you have been extremely patient and supportive. It is not easy to maintain our friendship especially when you have to put up with IH's crap. I am really grateful to have you by my side all these years. Glad you and your family love the cake. I'll bake for you somemore okay?

another great bake reirei! i've tried this recipe before too...tasted great but mine didn't look as pretty as yours. somehow, i wasn't able to achieve the even swirling effect. have you received the cutters/plungers yet? i've had them mailed out since last week - TANIA

Hey rei, what a coincidence! We both baked marble cake last nite lol. I was too lazy to make nice swirls and just "any how". Must have patience when baking anything, guess this hobby should help me to develop more patience. Good job!

Rei, cannot resist after seeing you and yuri's cakes. So I bake one also! But a different version. Cake just out from oven, not very nicely done though (as usual). Now waiting for it to cool off for testing. heee...
